Power Steering Fluid

[Stone MD]

Hey guys, I have been doing a bunch of reading on the fluids people are using, but I have not come accross anyone using Redline D4 ATF for power steering fluid. I was thinking that since I use it in my tranny, it would be one less thing to worry about. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

Also been thinking about changing my PS fluid. It's the only fluid I haven't changed in my truck.

Is there a simple way to swap it out, or is the turkey baster method the best to use on these trucks also? Suck as much out of the reservoir as you can and refill with fresh and doing that a few times on my old truck with a few days in between changed out the majority of the fluid.

Well, I just did it anyways. Redline D4 ATF in the T56 tranny and the power steering.

How did you go about swapping the ps fluid?

I completely took the system apart and replaced the oem fan with JTSVP dual electric fan. That pretty much replaced all the lines.
